Yesterday was really really hot. I spent it outside in the sun, at a craft show. It was fun but sweaty! Luckily I had an EZup from my inlaws, it came in SO handy. And I felt like a pro, since most of the other booths also had theirs. Three shows I've done and now I feel like I really "get" how to do them! Next stop, get a Square reader so I can use my iPad to take credit cards, won't that be fancy?
My helper had to leave me to go let out her wee little dog who can't be left alone for more than a few hours, so I was stuck by myself. Brendan was a doll and packed me a picnic, bought me beer, watched my table so I could go to the bathroom. What a guy, huh? It was super helpful. The kids enjoyed themselves, as there were bands playing and lots of people milling about. Ingrid really likes to hand me a bag when someone buys something, so she sat and helped me for awhile. They stayed for one of our favorite bands to play--Milwaukee's own Promise Ring was the special secret guest, I was so excited! They're always fun to see, even though it was a little surreal to be holding a kid while dancing to the music...Brendan and I looked at each other and just said "damn, we're old!"
Otis fell asleep for awhile, even amidst all the noise. That kid was tired, he's been getting up before 5am lately. What the f**k? Not cool, dude.
He's lucky he's so cute, amiright?
Today we recovered by being super lazy, eating Kringle and watching TV. We played outside for awhile, went to the wading pool, and then the kids were in bed promptly at 6:30pm. Sigh...time to relax finally!
